Abstract:

This study looks at the sociocultural context of five Italian regions and at
the situational context of restaurant encounters (a sub-type of service
encounters) to examine address variation in spoken Italian—with a focus on
singular address pronouns <i>tu</i>, <i>voi</i> and <i>lei</i>. It offers a
thorough examination of distance and power dynamics between waiters and
customers in a wide range of restaurant types. This book marks the
introduction of Italian to the field of regional pragmatic variation and it
will be of interest to linguists, Italianists and researchers more broadly
working on service encounters. The author offers a new dimension to the
understanding of social interaction and language use in contemporary Italy,
uncovering cultural and linguistic differences between even adjacent
geographical areas within a modern European nation state.
